Myspace or my little world

I am back once again on “The Encore Presentation”. I have been battling about a subject for quite sometime. So now I have become settled on bashing individuals who turn MySpace into their own little controllable world. So let me explain:

In the continuous growth of the use of the internet, we have an enormous amount of people who uses MySpace and various other dating sites. People have their motives for using this website. Whether it may be, networking, music, getting in touch with old friends, making new ones, or even dating. Pick you flavor. Now you have these pretentious individuals who have the audacity to put their entire life on the internet and wonder when they get the responses that they receive. Now do not get me wrong this is in no way discouraging your interaction. You have individuals who are so self-centered that you can only view them when they “accept” you as a friend. In addition, people go on this site day by day and alter their status and their moods. This in particular I find funny because it becomes a daily cry for attention. I mean really on Tuesday you are “having the time of your life with you and your sweetheart” and then on Wednesday evening you have a sad face and saying “Someone should change the way you think about men”. Yes, as you see I have a MySpace site, and I think it is great when its intentions are acted on accordingly. We can see when you are lying to the entire internet community and when you are crying for attention. This is done by pictures, blogs, messages, etc.


I think people who specialize in this behavior do not have control in their own lives. So this site and other dating sites allow them to have control with whom they encounter. You are allowed to reject friend request, respond to messages at your leisure, and post provocative pictures privately. Yeah really like it is a privilege to be in your presence. Please spare me the bull. Do not try to paint something that it is not. Also do not allow this site to consume you to the point that you are starting to believe in this product that you post. We have all seen pictures, notes and etc of people who are not whom they seem. This is frustrating and unrealistic. Maybe because I am frustrated with individuals who put out false products and expect the truth to visit their doorstep. You have these self-centered individuals who put status messages up so people can focus on them rather the issue at hand. Now do not get me wrong we as a community can be genuinely sensitive to your issue and sometime we are really nonchalant with our approach. I just want people to understand the magnitude of dating site, or networking sites such as Blackplanet, MySpace, Facebook, Tagged etc. These sites have an intended purpose and that is to meet, not to fulfill your desire for attention.


Signing off,

Truly yours,
